Just one anecdotal qualitative data point. S&W would never reveal but it would be interesting to know the production numbers of TS and non-TS Shields.

Its no secret. Most police officers that carried the FS S&W pistol preferred one with no manual safety. For nearly a hundred years LE (city to FBI) carried revolvers. The double action trigger was the safety.
Today, a semi-auto without the manual safety is a double action
trigger___ that's the safety.
When the perp is pointing a weapon at you or firing all that you do, regardless of all of that "training"___you point and pull the trigger!
Been there.
